Biodegradable Bags

Government legislation is constantly changing within the United Kingdom as attempts are made to minimise the environmental impact of commercial waste. This legislation is problematic for businesses striving to source top quality eco-friendly alternatives for standard packaging. This is where The Printed Bag Shop come into their own, for many years now we have actively supported the government’s stance whilst delivering the perfect solution to the business community. The popularity of our Biodegradable bags shows ethics remain a strong factor within the global marketplace.

The most controversial promotional products are plastic bags, they have long been known for their devastating impact on nature and the environment due to the volume of use and their visibility on overcrowded landfill sites. To combat this effect our plastic bags contain an additive called Deg 68, this accelerates the degrading process as soon as the bag is exposed to UV rays. All of our biodegradable plastic bags are produced in the UK.

Using printed biodegradable bags can be a positive selling point for businesses as it shows genuine concern for the environment. All of our punched handle carrier bags can be printed with a Bio-poly logo at no extra cost, helping to make the customer aware of your company’s commitment to tackling environmental issues. A report by the Environment Agency suggests that plastic bags are less harmful to the environment than multi-use bags such as cotton and jute, due to the carbon footprint left when transporting reusable bags.

Alongside the environmental benefits of plastic bags, these items are also an extremely cost-effective advertising tool. We can print to any specification, from 1 spot colour to full colour process print, and if you do not have artwork in place we can help to create an effective design to promote your products and services.

Due to the expense involved in the production and importation of reusable bags, alongside long established consumer habits, it is quite impractical to expect businesses with a large customer base to use any bags other than plastic in the current economic climate. The Printed Bag Shop are committed to providing environmentally-friendly packaging solutions for all of our clients, and keeping you up to date with all the latest industry news and regulations.
